When a player even eating may become a mistake, his situation may be more difficult than the struggle at the competitive level. Yang Hansen started an away trip with the Trail Blazers. During the team's away game against the Heat, some fans were lucky enough to encounter this tall and conspicuous Asian face in Brickell, Miami. After recognizing Yang Hansen, the fan immediately chased him and took a photo, and then posted the photo to social media. In the photo, Yang Hansen is wearing a casual gray T-shirt and looks to be in good condition. However, the focus of the incident quickly shifted to the fan's subsequent edits. His original copy was "I met Yang Hansen for dinner in downtown Miami tonight," but then he quietly deleted the word "dinner." This move was quickly captured by netizens and sparked widespread discussion. A seemingly insignificant word modification reflects the suffocating public opinion environment that Yang Hansen is currently facing. (Information source @UNH's last trump card)

The motivation behind why fans deleted the word "eat" is generally interpreted as "they don't want Yang Hansen to be exposed online again." This small gesture seems both sad and realistic. Good guy, does Yang Hansen have to eat in secret from now on? It seems like a lot of people really "don't allow him to eat." The absurdity of this view is self-evident. In fact, flying from Portland to Miami is no less than playing away from Xinjiang to Guangdong. After running all the way, I ate hand-caught mutton and then had Cantonese-style afternoon tea to relieve my tiredness. This is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. But when this common sense is applied to Yang Hansen, it may be infinitely magnified. When a netizen left a message asking if he had brought his girlfriend there, the fan only replied that he only saw an interpreter. This almost microscopic attention is pushing him into an extremely embarrassing situation.

The root cause of the excessive attention and harsh criticism from the outside world lies in Yang Hansen's difficulty in the NBA. His journey to the NBA has not gone smoothly, and the outside world's expectations for him have been falling again and again. Before the start of the season, public opinion generally believed that he could at least get a stable substitute rotation position, averaging 15 to 20 minutes of playing time per game. However, after the start of the season, reality quickly gave a cruel response. The sporadic opportunities he can get only average 4 to 6 minutes per game. Now, as the team's tactics have become fixed and competition has intensified, he has completely lost his playing time and has been unable to appear in many consecutive games. This rapid fall from "normal rotation" to "marginal figure" to "complete DNP" is the direct cause of the backlash in public opinion. The fans' disappointment needs an outlet to vent.

When a player no longer has the ball to play, the fans' attention will inevitably shift from the court to the off-court. Today, Yang Hansen's evaluation standards have become so humble that "it's not bad to train with the team." This sentence of "Come on" mixed with helplessness and encouragement has become a true portrayal of his complicated mentality for many people today. He showed up in Miami to prepare for a game he most likely wouldn't be on. Fans' cameras captured the moment he was wearing a casual T-shirt, but they could not capture his sweat in the training hall, nor could they change his position on the coaching staff's tactical board. From being highly anticipated to now having to be careful even when "eating", is this kind of all-round pressure a motivation for a young player in a foreign country, or is it becoming the last straw for him?
